Wooly Bugger - Grizzly Bead Head

No comments yet

From California, to New York, to England, the wooly bugger is probably one of the most effective and popular streamer patterns that can be used for a large range of fish species. I even know of people using them for saltwater fishing as well as freshwater. Its also fairly easy to tie, and quite durable. The grizzly/white version is great for imitating many baitfish. Being a bead head fly, it will sink and get down deep to the fish.

Hook: Daiichi 1750 size 10 (any 3x-4x long shanked streamer hook will do)
Weight: .015 lead wire, and a bead head.
Thread: white 70 denier thread.
Body: White chenille, and grizzly saddle hackle.
Tail: Pearl krystal flash and white marabou

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
